摘要： An embodiment of a method of stimulating an earth formation includes: disposing a stimulation device at a borehole in an earth formation, the earth formation having been stimulated by an initial stimulation operation; subsequent to the stimulation operation, performing a probe operation configured to cause movement of existing fractures in the formation; and measuring microseismic events occurring in the formation by one or more seismic receivers. The method further includes: identifying one or more target zones in the formation based on the measuring, the one or more target zones exhibiting a reduced micro seismicity relative to another zone in the formation; and designing a re-stimulation operation configured to stimulate the one or more target zones to increase hydrocarbon production from the formation.

摘要： A method for performing a hydrocarbon production action on an earth formation includes: obtaining a first vertical seismic profile (VSP) of the earth formation before a stimulation treatment is applied to the earth formation, the first VSP having first seismic data of a seismic property of received first seismic waves, and obtaining a second VSP of the earth formation after the stimulation treatment is applied to the earth formation, the second VSP comprising second seismic data of the seismic property of received second seismic waves. The method further includes quantifying a difference between the second seismic data and the first seismic data and performing the hydrocarbon production action using the quantified difference.
